Sweet Cherries Grown in Designated 

Counties in Washington; Continuance 

Referendum 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service. 

United States Department of 

Agriculture. 

ACTION: Referendum order. 

SUMMARY: This document directs that a 

referendum be conducted among 

eligible Washington sweet cherry 

growers to determine whether they favor 

continuance of the marketing order 

regulating the handling of sweet 

cherries grown in designated counties in 

Washington. 

DATES: The referendum will be 

conducted from February 5 through 

February 26, 2024. Only current sweet 

cherry growers that also grew sweet 

cherries within the designated 

production area during the period April 

1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, are 

eligible to vote in this referendum. 

Ballots returned via express mail must 

show proof of delivery by no later than 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 26, 

2024, to be counted. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the marketing 

order may be obtained from the office of 

the referendum agents at 1220 SW 3rd 

Avenue, Suite 305, Portland, Oregon

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Marketing Order No. 923, as amended 

(7 CFR part 923), hereinafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Order,’’ and the applicable 

provisions of the Agricultural Marketing 

Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Act,’’ it is hereby directed that 

a referendum be conducted to determine 

whether continuance of the Order is 

favored by Washington sweet cherry 

growers. The referendum shall be 

conducted from February 5 to February 

26, 2024, among eligible sweet cherry 

growers in the production area. Only 

current sweet cherry growers that were 

also engaged in the production of sweet 

cherries during the period of April 1, 

2022, through March 31, 2023, may 

participate in the continuance 

referendum. 

USDA has determined that 

continuance referenda are an effective 

means for determining whether growers 

favor continuation of marketing order 

programs. USDA would consider 

termination of the Order if less than 

two-thirds of growers voting in the 

referendum, or growers of less than twothirds of the volume of Washington 

sweet cherries represented in the 

referendum, favor continuance. In 

evaluating the merits of continuation 

versus termination, USDA will not 

exclusively consider the results of the 

continuance referendum. USDA will 

also consider all other relevant 

information concerning the operation of 

the Order and the relative benefits and 

costs to growers, handlers, and 

consumers to determine whether 

continued operation of the Order would 

tend to effectuate the declared policy of 

the Act. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the ballot materials used in 

the referendum have been approved by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and have been assigned OMB 

No. 0581–0189, Fruit Crops. It has been 

estimated that it will take an average of 

20 minutes for each of the 

approximately 1,350 Washington sweet 

cherry growers to cast a ballot. 

Participation is voluntary. Ballots 

postmarked after February 26, 2024, will 

not be included in the vote tabulation. 

Virginia Tjemsland and Barry 

Broadbent of the West Region Branch, 

Market Development Division, Specialty 

Crops Program, AMS, USDA, are hereby 

designated as the referendum agents of 

the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct 

this referendum. The procedure 

applicable to the referendum shall be 

the ‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of 

Referenda in Connection with 

Marketing Orders for Fruits, Vegetables, 

and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural 

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as 

Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400 et seq.). 

Ballots will be mailed to all 

Washington sweet cherry growers of 

record and may also be obtained from 

the referendum agents or their 

appointees.

Background 

NAV CANADA, which operates 

Canada’s civil air navigation service, is 

implementing changes to Canada’s 

instrument flight rules (IFR) navigation 

infrastructure as part of their NAVAID 

Modernization Program. This 

modernization program is designed to 

enhance the efficiency of Canada’s 

flying operations by taking advantage of 

performance-based navigation and 

RNAV avionics capabilities. The 

changes being implemented by NAV 

CANADA affect Jet Route J–533 and 

portions of VOR Federal airways V–13, 

V–133, V–300, and V–348 that extend 

across the U.S./Canada border through 

U.S. airspace over Lake Superior, MI. 

NAV CANADA is planning to 

decommission the Thunder Bay, ON, 

Canada, VOR in July 2024 as part of 

their NAVAID Modernization Program. 

As a result, amendments to V–13, V– 

133, and V–300, and revocation of J–533 

and V–348 in U.S. airspace are required 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2023 / Proposed Rules 85521 

due to the loss of navigational guidance 

provided by the Thunder Bay VOR and 

to match airway changes planned by 

NAV CANADA within Canadian 

airspace. Additionally, NAV CANADA 

plans to establish new Canadian RNAV 

routes, Q–924 in the high altitude 

enroute structure and T–765, T–776, 

and T–810 in the low altitude enroute 

structure, as route segment 

replacements for the affected Air Traffic 

Service (ATS) routes within Canadian 

and U.S. airspace. 

To mitigate the loss of the J–533, V– 

13, V–133, V–300, and V–348 route 

segments over Lake Superior and 

support NAV CANADA’s planned 

RNAV route replacements for these 

affected routes, the FAA must establish 

portions of Canadian RNAV routes Q– 

924, T–765, T–776, and T–810 within 

U.S. airspace. The new Canadian RNAV 

route segments in U.S. airspace would 

provide airway continuity with NAV 

CANADA’s RNAV routes being 

established within Canadian airspace 

and provide cross-border airway 

connectivity between the U.S. and 

Canada. Existing NAVAIDs that provide 

conventional enroute structure in the 

affected area are limited and alternate, 

parallel, or adjacent Jet Routes or VOR 

Federal airways to use as mitigations are 

not available. To compensate for the 

loss of the conventional enroute 

structure, IFR pilots with RNAVequipped aircraft could navigate using 

the Canadian RNAV routes proposed in 

this action or fly point-to-point using 

the Fixes and waypoints (WP) that 

would remain in place. Additionally, 

IFR pilots could request air traffic 

control (ATC) radar vectors to fly 

through or around the affected area. 

Visual flight rules pilots who elect to 

navigate airways could also take 

advantage of the ATC services listed 

previously. 

Finally, proposed modifications to 

U.S. RNAV route T–331 would mitigate 

proposed modifications to V–13 due to 

the planned Thunder Bay VOR 

decommissioning. The route would be 

extended northward within U.S. 

airspace to the U.S./Canada border to 

address the proposed removal of the 

affected V–13 airway segment. The 

extended T–331 would provide pilots 

with RNAV-equipped aircraft a route 

alternative through the affected area to 

the U.S./Canada border and then crossborder connectivity with NAV 

CANADA’s further extension of T–331 

within Canadian airspace to the 

Thunder Bay, ON, area. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing to amend 14 

CFR part 71 to amend VOR Federal 

airways V–13, V–133, and V–300, and 

U.S. RNAV route T–331; establish 

Canadian RNAV routes Q–924, T–765, 

T–776, and T–810 in U.S. airspace; and 

revoke Jet Route J–533 and VOR Federal 

airway V–348. This action is required 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, VOR by 

NAV CANADA in support of their 

NAVAID Modernization Program. The 

proposed ATS route actions are 

described below. 

J–533: J–533 currently extends 

between the Duluth, MN, VOR/Tactical 

Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the U.S./ 

Canadian border via the Duluth to 

Thunder Bay, ON, direct radial. The 

FAA proposes to remove the route in its 

entirety. 

Q–924: Q–924 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the Duluth, MN, VORTAC and the 

BEKRR, MI, WP that would replace the 

‘‘MPCEG’’ Computer Navigation Fix 

(CNF) on the U.S./Canada border. The 

new RNAV route would mitigate the 

proposed J–533 revocation and provide 

route continuity and cross-border 

connectivity with the Q–924 route 

segment being established by NAV 

CANADA within Canadian airspace 

between the BEKRR WP and the 

Thunder Bay, ON, area. 

V–13: V–13 currently extends 

between the Mc Allen, TX, VOR/DME 

and the Razorback, AR, VORTAC; 

between the Butler, MO, VORTAC and 

the Farmington, MN, VORTAC; and 

between the Duluth, MN, VORTAC and 

the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, VOR/ 

DME. The airspace outside the United 

States is excluded. The FAA proposes to 

remove the airway segment between the 

Duluth VORTAC and the Thunder Bay 

VOR/DME. As amended, the airway 

would be changed to extend between 

the Mc Allen VOR/DME and the 

Razorback VORTAC, and between the 

Butler VORTAC and the Farmington 

VORTAC. 

V–133: V–133 currently extends 

between the intersection of the 

Charlotte, NC, VOR/DME 305° and 

Barretts Mountain, NC, VOR/DME 197° 

radials (LINCO Fix) and the Zanesville, 

OH, VOR/DME; and between the 

Saginaw, MI, VOR/DME and the Red 

Lake, ON, Canada VOR. The airspace 

within Canada is excluded. The FAA 

proposes to remove the airway segment 

between the Houghton, MI, VOR/DME 

and the International Falls, MN, VOR/ 

DME. As amended, the airway would be 

changed to extend between the 

Charlotte VOR/DME 305° and Barretts 

Mountain VOR/DME 197° radials 

(LINCO Fix) and the Zanesville VOR/ 

DME, between the Saginaw VOR/DME 

and the Houghton VOR/DME, and 

between the International Falls VOR/ 

DME and the Red Lake, ON, VOR. The 

airspace within Canada would continue 

to be excluded. 

V–300: V–300 currently extends 

between the Victoria, British Columbia 

(BC), Canada, VOR/DME and the 

Vancouver, BC, Canada, VOR/DME; 

between the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, 

VOR/DME and the Wiarton, ON, 

Canada, VOR/DME; and between the 

Sherbrooke, Quebec (PQ), Canada, VOR 

and the Fredericton, New Brunswick 

(NB), Canada, VORTAC. The airspace 

within Canada is excluded. The FAA 

proposes to remove the airway segment 

between the Thunder Bay VOR/DME 

and the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME. 

Additionally, the FAA proposes to 

remove the airway segment between the 

Victoria VOR/DME and the Vancouver 

VOR/DME to match the airway segment 

removal action NAV CANADA is taking 

to be effective November 30, 2023. 

Finally, the FAA proposes to remove the 

airway segment between the Sherbrooke 

VOR and the Fredericton VORTAC due 

to NAV CANADA’s actions removing 

the segments west and east of the 

portion of the airway segment within 

U.S. airspace and the previously 

existing cross-border connectivity no 

longer being provided. As amended, the 

airway would be changed to extend 

between the Victoria VOR/DME and the 

Vancouver VOR/DME, and between the 

Sault Ste Marie VOR/DME and the 

Wiarton, ON, VOR/DME. The airspace 

within Canada would continue to be 

excluded. 

V–348: V–348 currently extends 

between the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada 

VOR/DME and the Sudbury, ON, 

Canada VOR. The airspace within 

Canada is excluded. The FAA proposes 

to remove the airway segment between 

the Thunder Bay VOR/DME and the 

Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Thunder Bay VOR/DME. Additionally, 

the FAA proposes to remove the airway 

segment between the Sault Ste Marie 

VOR/DME and the Sudbury VOR due to 

the Sudbury VOR having been 

decommissioned by NAV CANADA in 

2021. As amended, the airway would be 

removed in its entirety. 

T–331: T–331 currently extends 

between the FRAME, CA, Fix and the 

MECNU, MN, Fix. The FAA proposes to 

extend the route to the BEKRR, MN, WP 

replacing the ‘‘CFGDB’’ CNF on the 

U.S./Canada border and remove the 

MECNU Fix route point from the Part 71 

route description. The MECNU Fix will 

remain charted and appear to be on the 

route, but it will not be listed as a route 

point in the Part 71 description. As 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
85522 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

amended, the route would be changed 

to extend between the FRAME Fix and 

the BEKRR WP and provide mitigation 

for the proposed V–13 airway segment 

removal. 

T–765: T–765 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the Houghton, MI, VOR/DME and the 

BBLUE, MI, WP replacing the ‘‘KJDRS’’ 

CNF on the U.S./Canada border; and 

between the ASIXX, MN, WP replacing 

the ‘‘KJDPL’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border and the International Falls, MN, 

VOR/DME. The new RNAV route would 

mitigate the proposed V–133 airway 

segment removal and provide route 

continuity and cross-border 

connectivity with the T–765 route 

segment being established by NAV 

CANADA within Canadian airspace 

between the BBLUE WP and the ASIXX 

WP. 

T–776: T–776 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace between the 

KAYCY, MI, WP replacing the ‘‘CFZSV’’ 

CNF on the U.S./Canada border and the 

KMNGO, MI, WP replacing the 

‘‘CFXKN’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border; between the NCOLY, MI, WP 

replacing the ‘‘CWSKQ’’ CNF on the 

U.S./Canada border and the RRBEE, MI, 

WP replacing the ‘‘KJSCR’’ CNF on the 

U.S./Canada border; and between the 

SKOWT, MI, WP replacing the ‘‘KJSTL’’ 

CNF on the U.S./Canada border and the 

Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME. The 

new RNAV route would mitigate the 

proposed V–348 revocation and provide 

route continuity and cross-border 

connectivity with the T–776 route 

segments being established by NAV 

CANADA within Canadian airspace 

between the Thunder Bay, ON, area and 

the SKOWT WP. 

T–810: T–810 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the BERDD, MI, WP replacing the 

‘‘KJNGG’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border and the JEORG, MI, WP replacing 

the ‘‘CFKJR’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border; and between the CATGA, MI, 

WP replacing the CATGA, MI, Fix on 

the U.S./Canada border and the Sault 

Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME. The new 

RNAV route would mitigate the 

proposed V–300 airway segment 

removal and provide route continuity 

and cross-border connectivity with the 

T–810 route segments being established 

by NAV CANADA within Canadian 

airspace between the Thunder Bay, ON, 

area and the CATGA WP. 

The NAVAID radials listed in the 

VOR Federal airway descriptions in the 

proposed regulatory text of this NPRM 

are unchanged and stated in degrees 

True north. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as 

the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
